"There were multiple devices. If they were live or explosive, I don't have information on that," Orange County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jeff Williamson said.

Deputies say Bill Parsons, a man described by neighbors as nice and quiet, nailed wooden boards across his door to prevent them from evicting him on Tuesday.

Parsons allegedly told deputies he had a bomb and it would go off if anyone came in.

The area was evacuated, including students at Rosemont Elementary School. Parsons stayed locked inside for four hours before giving himself up. Then the bomb squad had the task of determining whether or not the bombs were real.

The area was cleared and deemed safe. All nearby residents were allowed back into their homes.
